Puma All Pro Nitro Review
Pros:
Improved cushioning comfort
Outstanding traction
Cons:
Materials feel cheap
Performance of the Puma All Pro Nitro:
Puma's latest All Pro model picks up where the previous model left off.
Reviewers agree the traction is phenomenal. The shoe performs whether the court is clean or dusty as long as you remember to wipe it.
The Nitro foam is the softest iteration yet. It's comfortable with some bounce.
The base is broader, and the lacing setup has improved eyelets to help keep you feeling stable and secure.
Cheap materials are the only downside. Regardless, the shoe feels breathable and comfortable.
The Puma All Pro Nitro is one of Puma's best releases.
